BCI releases mock question paper and prep material for the AIBE

The Bar Council of India (BCI) has released the model question paper for the first All India Bar Exam (AIBE) to be conducted on December 5, 2010.

Along with the model question paper, the BCI’s website has also compiled preparatory material for the students who will sit for the AIBE. The preparatory material is divided into two parts and consists of information regarding the fundamentals of the topics that will be included in the AIBE.

The open book exam will consist of a 100 multiple choice questions spread across various subjects. The exam will be divided into Parts I and II. Part I will consists of 7 questions each from Category I subjects and Part II will consist of 23 questions from Category II subjects.

The AIBE is a three and a half hours open book examination. In order to pass the exam, a candidate must score a minimum of 40 marks out of 100. There is an additional requirement apart from obtaining 40 marks. Out of the minimum required score of 40, 31 marks must be scored from Part I and 9 marks must be scored from Part II. The BCI website though states that this issue is yet to be finalized by the Expert Committee set up by them.

The BCI states that the exam aims to assess a candidate’s understanding of a particular area of law rather than the ability to memorize large rules and texts.

Though the BCI stipulates a minimum pass percentage, no ranks will be awarded to the candidates. The results shall only indicate whether the candidate has qualified or not for practice.

The BCI website which lists the model question paper and the preparatory materials can be accessed here.

Why u degrading your own syllabus which taught in the 5yr/3yr law course?The syllabus pattern was designed and formulated by B.C.I.for the 5yr/3yr course,but you make the students in trouble by conducting this Exam and make their dream not become true. For the welfare of some private concern(Rainmaker) the exam is going to be conducted by BCI.Shall BCI think about the students welfare?No. If they think about the students they will change the study hours in the class, increased the lecturers in each Law colleges of our country.It is obvious to see that they are working for the welfare of some private concerns.To improve the quality of an advocate in the legal subject,is it enough to perform in the AIBE? It is not the way to improve an advocate’s quality. So many ways are there to improve the quality of an advocate.Don’t privatise the legal education.Stop conducting AIBE which turmoils the future of upcoming advocates.
